Tasting notes
The 2014 Cuvee Chloe (67% Syrah and 33% Grenache) is another screaming good 2014 from this estate. A big, ripe, sexy and unctuously textured red that made me want to stop the tasting and just sit back and drink a glass, it offers classy notes of ripe blackberries, raspberries, roasted herbs, licorice and floral aromas and flavors. Already approachable and ready to go, drink this hedonistic, yet pure and impeccably balanced beauty over the coming 7-8 years.

(aged in 40 percent new French oak) Inky ruby. Pungent aromas of red and blue fruit preserves, potpourri and spicecake, and a hint of vanilla in the background. Silky and energetic, offering intense black raspberry and cherry-vanilla flavors and notes of licorice and candied violet. This finely balanced, concentrated yet lively wine carries no excess fat and shows excellent finishing clarity. Smooth, harmonious tannins add subtle grip.
